✨ amdtp_domain_stream_pcm_pointer(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

amdtp_domain_stream_pcm_pointer — get the PCM buffer position

like, it tells you where the music is at rn 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unsigned long amdtp_domain_stream_pcm_pointer (struct amdtp_domain *d ,
struct amdtp_stream *s );

that signature is literally the whole vibe, no cap ✨

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • d — the AMDTP domain. yes queen, the whole domain 🫶
  • s — the AMDTP stream that transports the PCM data. this is the one actually carrying the audio, main character energy fr fr 🔥

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Returns the current buffer position, in frames.

that's it. that's the whole thing. it hands you back a buffer position and the unit is frames — don't forget the frames, that's the whole point 🙈 and the return type is unsigned long, so it's giving numbers, not vibes.
